I'm sitting right along with you, JessicaG. I initially went to the surgeon with the intention of having the lap-band...but came out with the gastric bypass as a better option for my history of co-morbidities. I was so freaked that I called the surgery center up and asked if I could speak to someone about my concerns, and they whole-heartedly suggested making another appointment with my surgeon to discuss any issues I have. So...make an appointment with the surgeon! I feel that I can not go into the operating room without knowing all they possible outcomes. I plan on having surgery in Jan or Feb...and will have it no matter what the possible complications will be...but I want to be aware of them! Not sure this makes sense...but don't feel rushed into this, ask questions, feel comfortable with your decision.
